The adult education center in Germany, including the VHS Herne, sees integration language courses as essential support for immigrants. These courses are not only designed to convey knowledge of German, but also to bring the values ​​and ways of life closer to Germany. According to vhs.info , personal participation in presence courses is essential for successful integration into the community. However, online courses can also be used and offer a way to bridge waiting times for presence places.
